We will have our first (Of many we hope) Installfests on the last Saturday in April. The date is Saturday April 26th,  2003 from about noon - 5PM. It will take place at Marist College in  Poughkeepsie New York. The Lowell Building room LT 125.

The Install Fest is meant to be social as well as educational. Depending on the type of hardware on your machine, it could take as little as 20 minutes to install, or as long as the full 5 hours. Be prepared to hang out and be social during the time. Snacks will be available, but feel free to bring food or drink as well.
